Highlights • Patients with MUS are believed to have a deviant way of presenting symptoms. • We systematically compared language use of patients with MUS and MES. • Prejudices about communication of MUS patients cannot be detected in language use. • Negative stereotyping and labelling may...

Abstract With the ongoing distribution of the coronavirus disease (COVID) vaccines, the pandemic of our age is ending, leaving the world to deal with its well-documented aftereffects. Long COVID comprises a variety of symptoms, of which the neurological component prevails. The most permeating...

Leg pain in neuropathic postural tachycardia syndrome is associated with altered muscle membrane properties, 2021, Rodriguez et al Abstract Purpose In neuropathic postural tachycardia syndrome, peripheral sympathetic dysfunction leads to excessive venous blood pooling during orthostasis. Up to...

Abstract Aims. This paper explores socio-demographic, work and clinical characteristics that are associated with occupational status among patients who were assessed at baseline and a follow-up point. Methods. Longitudinal data were assessed from patients affected by CFS who attended an...

Introduction: Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS/ME) is a disabling disease severely impacting school attendance, education, and social life in young students. Uncertainties surrounding CFS/ME etiology may impact the interpretation of CFS/ME in schools. Thus, school personnel need information from...

Abstract The findings of controlled trials on use of intravenous immunoglobulin G (IV IgG) to treat myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) are generally viewed as representing mixed results. On detailed review, a clearer picture emerges, which suggests that the potential...

Abstract: Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a debilitating and often life-long condition affecting over 20,000 New Zealanders. Symptoms include muscle and joint pain, severe fatigue, unrefreshing sleep, hypersensitivity to light and sound, and cognitive dysfunction...

Abstract Background Patient and public involvement can improve study outcomes, but little data have been collected on why this might be. We investigated the impact of the Feasibility and Support to Timely Recruitment for Research (FAST-R) service, made up of trained patients and carers who...

Red Blood Cell Deformability, Vasoactive Mediators, and Adhesion Timothy J. McMahon Open Access Healthy red blood cells (RBCs) deform readily in response to shear stress in the circulation, facilitating their efficient passage through capillaries. RBCs also export vasoactive mediators in...
